1. Attached herewith is a draft of an Agency notice which will
be disseminated in the near future addressing our efforts to reduce
excessive travel. You will note that, among a number of cost

the chief of the facility provides his concurrence.
3. In addition to the above actions, we are pursuing the

PCS travel abroad; we are looking into the feasibility of
extending the system to include domestic PCS and domestic/
foreign TDY travel..
b. Pursue the installation?of a computer-assisted
airline reservation and ticketing capability which will
enhance the Agency's ability to take advantage of all
